Instructions for oral presentations
The schedule of DAGA conference is divided into time slots of 20 minutes:
- 15 min presentation
- 3 min discussion
- 2 min break (time for changing to another session)
This firm schedule will be strictly enforced by automatic alarm clocks. The chair of a session will abort presentations that run out of time.
The remaining time for each presentation, discussion and break is visualised by a stage timer, which you can display on your smartphone. Please find more information about this in the info box on the right-hand side of this page.
Language of the presentation
The official language of the conference is German. Yet, contributions in English are welcome and will also be accepted.
The presentation language at the sessions should correspond to the language used in the title and abstract. If desired, presentation slides for German-language presentations may also be in English.
Technical equipment and presentation mode
A laptop computer with Windows operation system, a video projector, a laser pointer, and audio equipment for the playback of audio files are available in every lecture room. Own laptops cannot be used. It is possible to play back audio recordings from the laptop in good mono quality.
Your presentation file is ideally prepared in 16:9 or alternatively 4:3 display ratio.
